Precious Ramabulana

Precious Ramabulana is a 19 year old South African student who was found dead in her dorm room at Campus of Capricorn TVET College in Polokwane on 24 November 2019 raped and stabbed 52 times. Precious was studying Business Management.

One of her lecturers Stephen Mashitisho, had the following to say on Facebook.

"I'm lost for words, she was one of my brightest students. She loved
education, she performed very well. She had great attitude towards life
and someone foolish and horny just had to snatch the life out of this
beautiful and dedicated creature.

What has this world become of? What solutions can we come up with to
end violence against women and children. South Africa is a beautiful
place but no longer a home anymore.

We have become a generation of self-destruction, a generation that
live like animals. I'm lost for words for what happened to this dearest
soul.

I'm a man to start with, one that used to say that not all men are
trash, but the label suit us until we stand together and come up with
solutions to put an end to this horrific acts.

She was somebody's daughter, a sibling, a friend to somebody, an
inspiration to someone. This can happen to your daughter, your sister or
your close friend. As men we need to put an end to this, we need to
take our God given responsibility and protect our women. We can start
this by reporting any violence known to us by our fellow men. We can be a
change we need."
